I constantly look at the blogs of my crafty friends, crafty friends of friends, and other random people who do crafty things, and I wish I could be that creative. I can follow simple instructions if someone explains every little step (hello Super Saturday!) but I can't ever figure out how to be crafty on my own. It took me a week to figure out a fall centerpiece for my dining room table...
I know. Amazing, right? It came in a box and I threw it in a bowl that I had. That took me a week. And four trips to different craft stores. Lame.

Lame....anyway - someday I'd love to have a house adorned with handmade pieces that don't look like a third grader did it. Unfortunately it costs money to buy craft supplies, and money is not something we have an abundance of, so for now, I will just browse crafty blogs and fall in love with things like these:
Halloween Wreath by: Something To Do
Christmas Letters by: Mimi Lee
Cake Flower by: Oops! I Craft My Pants
Witch's Wands by: Our Best Bites
And these next three are by Heidi Russell, but her blog is private...hope she doesn't mind me showing her off!
And then there's me...I glue a plate to a bowl and call it a cake pedestal...sigh

I think your centerpiece is really cute! I am so not crafty either but I do love cute stuff made by others or something that's super simple to copy!! Some day you will have to check out my "Charlie Brown pumpkin". I made it the first year we were married and it's so childish (ugly), but Matt won't let me get rid of it for sentimental reasons. It's in the kids' room for Halloween.
Wow! I thought I was just a bit crafty until I saw all of your pictures! :(...cute stuff!! Like your centerpiece!!
I love being crafty...I just wish I had more money to be crafty with!
Whatever, that cake pedestal is AWESOME! Unbelievably AWESOME! That's my kind of crafty! I totally hear you on the I-wish-I-was-naturally-crafty thing. I am the stinking Enrichment (yes I'm still calling it that) Counselor in our ward and the stinking part of it is that it is me. I am not crafty at all and the ladies in our ward want CRAFTS! Yikes. SAVE ME.
I like your cake pedestal...I think it's way cool!
